Time to check out a couple of the back bowls at Copper Mountain Ski Resort in Colorado. Union Meadows and Copper Bowl offer a lot of challenging and fun terrain. Big puffy, white clouds start the day with a bluebird sky hovering above and behind. First, a couple of long lift rides to the top of the mountain, and beautiful mountain views all around. Then it's over to Union Meadows for some quick exploring, and an extended descent to the base area. Another trip up the mountain takes you to Copper Bowl, which is a different world altogether and a ski area unto itself. By now the clouds have taken over and a little bit of snow is flying around. It takes time to explore the 3 lifts in Copper Bowl, but it's well worth it. There's a ton of great terrain back here. I recommend it.
